Foreign secretary talks up party’s prospects – and his ‘very good boss’ Rishi Sunak – on morning broadcast round
Good morning. David Cameron, the foreign secretary and former prime minister, has been touring the studios this morning doing an interview round on behalf of No 10. When he made his surprise comeback to cabinet in November last year, there were suggestions that he might be doing quite a lot of this, as a general spokesperson for the government, because he is such a good communicator. But perhaps he’s a bit too good for No 10’s taste.
Sunak’s team won’t have been happy about George Osborne, Cameron’s friend and former chancellor, describing him on his podcast recently as “acting like the British prime minister” on the world stage. According to Politico, this is the first time since his appointment Cameron has done a weekday morning broadcast round. Cameron’s main message has been to urge Israel not to reliate after the mass missile and drone attack from Iran on Saturday night was repulsed almost entirely.
